Somebody at the Salvation Army headquarters forgot that America is a tribal society. No, you cannot be against racism. Liberals are against racism so conservatives must do the opposite. If a liberal says he likes puppies, conservatives must advocate for more dead puppies. I didn’t make the rules, sorry.
From the Salvation Army website:
The holidays are a welcome reminder of the things we are grateful for—and for the power of service on behalf of those who are less fortunate. The Salvation Army mission statement clearly outlines the nature of our service: to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The beliefs that motivate our service are based solely on the Bible, and that will never change.
Jesus Christ? Human needs? Without discrimination? Sounds like something a commie would say.
In this case, the guide “Let’s Talk About Racism,” was issued as a voluntary resource, but it has since become a focus of controversy. We have done our best to provide accurate information, but unfortunately, some have chosen to ignore those efforts. At the same time, International Headquarters realized that certain aspects of the guide may need to be clarified.
Consequently, for both reasons, the International Social Justice Commission has now withdrawn the guide for appropriate review.
Too little, too late. Again, sorry. I didn’t make the rules.
